6 good reasons to eat fennel

Heart Health

This delicious green bulb can be fried or roasted, its fluffy fronds chopped and sprinkled on to food, or its seeds crushed or chewed whole. Each part has a strong aniseed or liquorice flavour. Like many vegetables, fennel is a great source of fibre which can contribute to reducing cholesterol and heart disease risk, but the additional benefit of magnesium, potassium and calcium in this vegetable means that adding fennel to your diet could help to reduce blood pressure and keep your heart healthy.
